The White Tower is far the most popular monument of Thessaloniki and the symbol of the city because of its prominent position and imposing architecture.
Aristotelous Square is the beating heart of Thessaloniki. Lined with shops, restaurants, bars and hotels, it's the perfect place to get a feeling for the pace of life in Thessaloniki.
Ladadika is perhaps the most popular area of Thessaloniki and one of the hotspots when it comes to nightlife and food. Bars, bistros, clubs, and restaurants are lined up, offering authentic greek entertainment.
Ano Poli (Upper Town) is the only area of Thessaloniki that survived the fire of 1917. Beautiful traditional architecture, small taverns, and fantastic view.

Great host and such a great time! It was the perfect way to see the city — especially not being able to during the day because of work.
Ensure your tour guide has a tour itinerary planned, is a tour guide and that they can communicate in your language.
Hi Vickie, sorry to hear about what happened to your tour. Definitely, this is not the kind of experience we would like you to have with Welcome. For us to further review this, please reach out to us at hello@welcomepickups.com so we can investigate this for you. Thank you for your time and for bringing this to our attention.
We were picked up promptly at our hotel at the suggested time and given a wonderful evening tour of Thessaloniki. Our amazing driver Leonidas recommended places we could stop and take photos/explore. He let us have as much time as we wanted at each spot and was so informative about the history of the city along the way. Since our time was limited due to work, this was so convenient with our schedule. Leonidas was an absolutely wonderful guide and really made the tour spectacular.
Pantelis was such a stellar tour guide! He knew so much about his city and gave us so much information and answered our questions! He stopped when it was safe to let us get out and take pictures. We only had one afternoon/evening in the City, so this was an excellent way to take in as much as possible in a short period of time. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide, thank you, Pantelis!
Beautiful evening and sunset view of the city in a comfortable air-conditioned car with an excellent driver. Great details and nice conversation. Excellent English. This was a wonderful experience. Athanasios Diamantopoulos Was our driver and guide and we’re grateful for the experience.
